I read many an article on this type of program as I just upgraded from the Droid RAZR to the Samsung S4….I couldn’t get it to work and this was the response I was given from customer service…..
*****As the play store page states, Helium is not compatible with any Motorola device.

Hello Charles,
i seem to sense you might have interrupted the backup process or else your device is rooted.
Because the App does the Export to SD card perfectly with out asking for any encryption code.
i recommend you to re-install your APP once and try again.
Hope that works.

now I backuped Subway surfer and have extension with .ab and cant extract it on the new device, I tried copying file in the storage, uploaded on G drive, .. still hopeless ,, Helium didnt detect any files to be restored..
